Youtube I closed that video because I didn't want to watch it, not because i was hoping to see a smaller version of it still playing in the corner of my screen.

If you told me everything google did was designed around how to piss me off, I would believe it.

Political corruption. Vast inequality. Giant monopolies. Ultra-wealthy elites. Conspicuous consumption.

These problems defined the Gilded Age of the late 1800s. And they're dominating America again today.

But we have the power to fight back. https://youtu.be/Nmq7QqqY4vo?si=F3dxZcPJJRcBXB1O

Readers are not asking the New York Times to print propaganda or stump for Democrats. In my view, they simply want the Times to be more clear-eyed and honest about the depth of the crisis this country currently faces. presswatchers.org/2025/12/new-...

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

Illinois is too permissive of objections that serve no legitimate purpose. They are made to waste time or amplify a political attack.
This was the official objection, from Maxwell Rice, a former Republican candidate for #IL09, who filed objections to several candidates this cycle
